“Overflowing” is the word that best describes what God did in the month of December. Through the faithfulness of our Cambodian brothers and sisters, Christmas celebrations were organized to reach the community and God blessed these efforts with abundance in every way.
Overflowing with People Hungry for the Gospel
Across five celebrations, more than 850 people attended—far surpassing all expectations. We give thanks that God stirred hearts to come, to celebrate, and to hear the good news of Jesus.
In Run Ta Ek and Skun, the teams had anticipated 100 and 150 participants respectively. Instead, God multiplied their efforts, bringing 250 people in Run Ta Ek and 280 in Skun.
In Run Ta Ek, many visitors were refugees who had fled from the Thai–Cambodian border seeking safety in Siem Reap. The venue overflowed, with some participants having to sit outside the church to be part of the celebration.
Overflowing with Gifts and Blessings
God provided abundantly for the needs of families through your generous support. During the celebrations, basic necessities and clothing were distributed to help families through this difficult season. Children also enjoyed games and activities, with prizes that brought laughter and excitement.
Overflowing with Joy in the Lord
The Christmas celebrations reminded us of the hope we have in Jesus. Even in the midst of hardship, the Spirit filled hearts with joy that overflowed. Young and old alike danced, sang, and celebrated together, rejoicing in the victory we have in Christ.
Overflowing with Prayers for Peace
While we were grateful for the peaceful environment during the celebrations, we acknowledged that this peace comes only from God. In Kok Thmey, the church lifted up prayers of thanksgiving and intercession, asking God for reconciliation between Thailand and Cambodia so that lasting peace may continue.
God is indeed a provider of overflowing abundance that overflows. May we always fix our eyes on Him in our day to day living and recognise the overflowing cup He has poured out for us to be a blessing to others.
Blessings,
